Proverbs 3:21-26

Blessed Is the One Who Finds Wisdom

²¹ My son, _h do not lose sight of these -
keep sound wisdom and discretion,
²² and they will be _i life for your soul
and _j adornment for your neck.
²³ _k Then you will walk on your way securely,
_l and your foot will not stumble.
²⁴ _m If you lie down, you will not be afraid;
when you lie down, _n your sleep will be sweet.
²⁵ _o Do not be afraid of sudden terror
or of _p the ruin ₁ of the wicked, when it comes,
²⁶ for the Lord will be your confidence
and will _q keep your foot from being caught.
